Vend + Mercury: Making card payments slick and secure in the US

US retailers now have a new way to accept payments with Vend, which we’re pretty excited about. We’ve partnered with MercuryPay, an award-winning payment processor, so you have more choice and flexibility when it comes to selling to your customers.

Mercury is just as committed to helping local retailers succeed as we are here at Vend. Their platform provides an affordable, fast, reliable and secure way to make transactions, and includes features such as promotional payment options and instant transaction viewing.

Sell to your customers no matter how they want to pay.

With Mercury, you can accept all major debit and credit cards (including chip cards) and even take contactless payments such as Apple Pay. And the best part, it’s fully integrated with all Vend platforms.

As of October 1st, 2015, all US retailers will need to upgrade to EMV payment terminals in order to avoid being liable for fraudulent transactions. Mercury offers EMV-enabled solutions in order to help you prepare for the October liability shift. If you need more information on how to prepare for these changes you can read more in our previous blog posts:

To make it even easier for you to start using Mercury, they’re offering a special deal just for Vend customers. Their dedicated Vend rep will evaluate your needs and give you the best possible processing rates. In addition, there are no long-term contracts, no set up fees and best of all, your first payment terminal is free!*
